A couple of weekends ago I had the opportunity to work on a cake poking a little fun at the birthday boy.

Ted's wife contacted me about creating a 30th birthday cake for her husband with an "Over the Hill" type theme. After doing a little research (finding mainly tombstone cakes), we came up with this:

A two tiered moist chocolate cake filled with fresh raspberry preserves and iced in vanilla butercream. The little man (made of my Marshmallow Fondant) is reaching towards his youth - including the Fountain of Youth, of course! - all while sliding down into "Geazerville." His wife came up with the idea of old man white sneakers and high top socks!

Hi ... I'm Jade and I'm addicted to baking!
